‘He knows it just as we do’: internal emails show Liberal MPs speculating about Trudeau’s expected resignation and the roadmap ahead
As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau continues to reflect on his future, several Liberal MPs are speculating about his expected resignation in the coming days, and proposing a path forward on how to elect a new leader at a time when the government risks being defeated at any time when the House returns in late January.
“I continue to believe that early in the New Year a plan moving forward will be announced including his [Trudeau’s] resignation and we will be consumed with new challenges,” wrote Judy Sgro (Humber River-Black Creek, Ont.), in an email to her caucus colleagues on Saturday, Dec. 28, obtained by The Hill Times.
WTF?
That’s all women want when you boil it down to the essentials. We’d like some validation and admiration.

What I Saw at the Daniel Penny Trial
November 1, 2024. It’s 70 degrees in Manhattan—and getting warmer. A drought has set in since summer; the downtown breeze feels less like an East River gust than a Santa Ana wind.
On the 13th floor of Manhattan’s criminal court, at 100 Centre Street, Judge Maxwell Wiley’s courtroom is stagnantly hot. Chants from outside are audible through an open window, as Daniel Penny, the defendant in this manslaughter case, on trial for allegedly killing Jordan Neely on the subway in spring 2023, enters the building: “Daniel Penny has got to pay!” As the protesters disperse following their morning session, jackhammers from New York’s progressive public works project—demolishing the Manhattan jail to make room for a citywide jail system that can hold far fewer inmates, even as the number of inmates rises—compete with courtroom voices.
Will Dems Disrupt Certification of Trump’s Triumph?
Some dead-enders continue to insist that he is an insurrectionist and therefore ineligible to take office.
When the Electoral College met on Dec. 17 and confirmed Donald Trump’s victory over Kamala Harris, most commentators concluded that congressional certification of the results would be a mere formality. As Politico put it, “Trump’s victory has made Jan. 6 boring again.” It should be remembered, however, that the Democrats have tried to block certification of every Republican presidential victory this century — including the 2004 reelection of George W. Bush, who won the popular vote as well as an Electoral College majority. Consequently, it’s hardly a surprise that we are still hearing claims from some TDS victims that Trump can be barred from holding office pursuant to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
Ottawa-funded social justice research isn’t science
For the past decade, Ottawa politicized research funding: Liberal ministers pledged to embed diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) into research practices while bringing diversity targets to the sector; they even said outright that federal funds would be used to tinker with the demographics within the research ecosystem.
Blame Hamas and Hezbollah for Civilian Deaths, Not Israel
If Western politicians and aid agencies want to apportion blame for the high death tolls in the conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon, then they need look no further than the Iranian-backed terror groups cynically risking the lives of innocent civilians to achieve their diabolical agenda.
From the moment Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists launched their deadly attack against Israel on October 7 last year, killing 1,200 people and taking another 250 or so hostage, Hamas terrorists have shown a wilful disregard for the lives and well-being of Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
Canada has win-win deals it can make to satisfy Trump
Consumed with another caucus insurrection, I doubt Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has any remaining bandwidth to focus on Canada’s clear and present danger.
Donald Trump will be inaugurated in a matter of days and there’s no coherent strategy to tackle these three key issues…
The 10 Most Egregious ‘Fact’ Checks of 2024
It is a common retort among those who argue in favor of an “independent” fact-checking industry that Republicans and conservatives are fact-checked more because they lie more. However, anyone who reads beyond the headlines will soon see this is nonsense. Over the past year, the fact-checkers have come out with some “fact” checks that are themselves factually challenged. Here are the worst ten.
Norad paying ‘full attention’ to Chinese-Russian air co-operation
The head of the North American Aerospace Defence Command says Chinese and Russian air co-operation in the Arctic has Norad’s “full attention.”
Those two countries for the first time staged a joint patrol in the Arctic near the coast of Alaska last July.
U.S. Gen. Gregory Guillot told The Canadian Press in a year interview that it potentially takes decades for two nations’ militaries to reach “full integration” at a level like the U.S. and Canada.
Behind the Myth of Jimmy Carter
By now, everybody knows that the 39th president of the U.S., Jimmy Carter, died on Sunday at age 100. Here in Georgia, we’ll see wall-to-wall coverage of everything Carter ever did and said for weeks now. On Sunday, social media was all Jimmy, all the time.
Parkside Drive speed camera tossed in High Park pond
Three and counting: Parkside Drive speed camera vandalized yet again
One of Toronto’s most notorious speed cameras, located at Parkside Drive near High Park, has been cut down for a third time.
According to the neighbourhood group Safe Parkside, the speed camera — Toronto’s highest-grossing speed camera with 65,392 speeding tickets and nearly $7 million in fines to date — was vandalized, removed from the side of the road and disposed of in a pond in High Park.
Germany: Muslim couple accused of abusing Yazidi girls aged 5 and 12 as slaves
The couple allegedly bought two children at an Iraqi market and kept them as slaves. The accused are alleged to have been members of the “Islamic State” group and were detained in Bavaria in April.
Germany’s federal prosecutor on Monday charged an Iraqi couple with enslavement, torture and war crimes, after they allegedly kept two young Yazidigirls as slaves and sexually and physically abused them.
The couple, identified as Twana H.S. and Asia R.A. in line with German privacy law, were arrested in the southern state of Bavaria in April.
The two are also suspected to have been members of the “Islamic State” (IS) extremist group in Iraqand Syriabetween October 2015 and December 2017, the prosecutor said in a statement.
They allegedly kept a 5-year-old Yazidi girl as a slave starting in late 2015, and a 12-year-old from October 2017.
This is not an aberration. It is Islam.
Canada’s backlog of asylum claims could climb higher when Trump returns to White House, experts say
A backlog of 267,000 cases at the tribunal that hears asylum claims in Canada risks rising even further if a predicted influx of asylum claimants crosses the border from the U.S. after president-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House, immigration experts say.
The Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) has a backlog four times higher than it was two years ago as a flood of claims has left it unable to keep up.
YouTube Makes Dumbest Anti-Gun Move Yet
Much as it pains us to say it, guns aren’t part of everyone’s childhood. While many of us grew up hunting in the woods or just making trips to the range with our parents, a lot of people never got that.
